Description

In this Economic and Social Research seminar, join Patrick Minford, CBE, Professor of Applied Economics at Cardiff University to discuss economic prospects for the UK post-BREXIT.

Professor Minford is a British macroeconomist who is Professor of Applied Economics at Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, a position he has held since 1997. He was Edward Gonner Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Liverpool from 1976 to 1997.

Professor Minford was a supporter of the Better Off Out campaign to leave the European Union on the grounds that the net economic costs to Britain of its policies are substantial because they are in most respects contrary to free market principles; furthermore British citizens, used to centuries of self-government, have no power to alter them. In 2016 Minford was a notable member of the Economists for Brexit group which supported the referendum campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.
